When I see people drive through so much water, I’m never sure whether I want them to make it to dry ground.

Of course, it’s a joke. Of course, I want them to make it. But it does provide the opportunity to watch several strategies. There is the “just gun it and get it to the other side even though the carburetor will be drinking H20, but it’s OK because I saw them do this on a truck commercial” method (evidenced by the pick-up truck). And there is the “if I go really slow, perhaps the engine won’t know it’s underwater” technique being employed by the sedan.
